We are currently carrying out a necessary behind-the-scenes upgrade to how images are stored and delivered on The Front Row Union Sports. With over 770,000 images on the site, we are moving our entire image library to a dedicated cloud storage service. This means images will load faster for you, regardless of where you are in the world, and the site will be more reliable overall.

As we are working on three separate versions of images during the offload process, the site cache sometimes struggles to keep up with which version to display and occasionally post grid images or complete galleries may fail to appear. This is a temporary side effect of the migration process — the image exists and is safe, it is simply in the process of being moved to its new home and identified as being there. A refresh of the page will usually bring them back, however, if it does not please contact john@thefrontrowunion.com stating clearly the post address and we will restore it as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience.

We expect the bulk of the image migration to be completed by the end of June 2026, with a fully upgraded version of the site ready to launch in August 2026. Once that work is done, the site will be noticeably faster, images will load more reliably, and you will not see any further disruption of this kind. Thank you for your continued support of The Front Row Union Sports.

Ireland U20’s, led by Ulster’s Patrick Jackson, have set up a Grand Slam encounter against England next weekend with this 26 – 0 win against Scotland on Friday night.

, , crossed in a stilted performance from Ireland, Jackson contributed 11 points and they now travel to England for the championship decider.

Ireland (8) 26

TRY: Shane Layden, Luke McGrath, Jack Conan

CON:

PEN: Paddy Jackson (3)

Scotland (0) 0

Buccaneers’ Layden started the scoreboard ticking over with a scorching try down the left, kicking ahead and collecting to score.

Playing on his home turf, Layden was a handful but despite his efforts Ireland were restricted to a Jackson penalty in the rest of the half taking the score to 8 – 0 as the teams changed ends.

Jackson converted two penalties in quick succession at the start of the second half to take Ireland 14-0 clear.

Scotland had their chances but Ireland were able to secure the win when Conan broke off the back of a scrum to send McGrath over and the game was wrapped up in the last ten minutes when Conan powered over of the back of another powerful scrum.

The Irish boys may yet rue not scoring more points in this series as England, despite last nights 12 – 8 loss to France, can still take the championship thanks to their superior points difference.

IRELAND: Shane Layden, Conor Finn, Chris Farrell, JJ Hanrahan, Foster Horan, Paddy Jackson, Luke McGrath, Kyle McCall, James Rael, Peter Reilly, Iain Henderson, Daniel Qualter, Conor Gilsenan, Aaron Conneely, Jack Conan. Replacements: Callum O’Connell, Des Merrey, Jake Cawley, Tadhg Beirne, Jordan Coghlan, Kieron Marmion, Cathal Marsh, Stuart Olding.

IF in Doubt, sit them out
